Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A Pirate's Life for Me

Pirates making hundreds of millions in ransoms, as attacks intensify off Somali coast [More]
How am I supposed to feel the least bit of sympathy for anyone captured by Somali pirates? It's not like we don't know what would stop it, and we all know that won't be allowed. So if you choose to go there in spite of that, why would I care about what happened to you any more than if you chose to crawl over all the barriers to enter a lion habitat enclosure? And if you did, why would you expect anyone to expend his treasure or risk his life to save you?
